Prague We left Prague two days ago for Salzburg, Austria. It ended up as a longer stay than we initially planned for several reasons. One was simply that it is a great city; beautiful, with a lot of history and interesting architecture, and it is in a relatively compact area, lending itself well to walking. […]
Oslo — This is Fjord Country
Oslo– This is Fjord Country Our blogging has been delayed again. Though we were busy the last four days in Prague, the main reason for the delay was our poor internet connection. But now we are in Salzburg, and again have a good Internet connection. Before I get into Prague, I must backtrack to the […]
Land of the Vikings
Land of the Vikings Perhaps I enjoy Norway so much because it is the land of the Vikings, the name of my beloved football team. Or maybe it is because my paternal grandmother’s family is from Norway, and that part of the family showed their ancestral roots so much in speech and the way they […]
Fjords
I’m looking out the window of our place on the fjord. There are no words to describe the view. At first I couldn’t stop taking pictures. The light would change or the clouds descend and it looked different. I finally calmed down and now I just sit and look. We arrived several days ago after […]
London and Beyond
We have a little catching up to do on the blog. We are now on our way to Oslo, after a mad dash in the airport. Small details matter; a flight to Oslo’s Rygge airport is not the same as a flight to Oslo’s Torp airport, even if on the same airline. But we did […]
London
August 18 When we arrived in London we went on the underground to our hotel on Belsize park. At the hotel we layed down and went to sleep. Later in the day we met Alex and Julia (our friends that decided to meet us in London). We went to their place and watched television and […]
Copan Ruinas
August 13 Today we went to the Macaw Mountain Bird Park. It was a 21/2 kilometer walk from town. We had a guide bring us through. The first stop was the parakeets, then scarlet macaws. There was a cage for scarlet macaws that you could walk through. There were also toucans, green macaws, aracaris, owls, […]
Leaving Roatan
Yesterday (the 11th) we left Roatan. There were a lot of mixed feelings about leaving. We certainly had a great time there, and it was very relaxing. Our place was on the ocean, with a great view of a beautiful, white sand beach. And the diving was wonderful. The reefs there are in very nice […]
Visiting the Mayan ruins
Wow! Today was great! We left Roatan yesterday, and we were all sad to go. It was Mom and Dad’s favorite place in the Caribbean, and it was me and my sister’s favorite (and only) place too. But now we have reached Copan Ruinas and having just as much fun. We are staying at a […]
The Travel Routine
After four weeks on the road we appreciate even more the value of routine. It helps all of us to have a bit of structure and allows us to take advantage of the best a particular area has to offer us. In the tropics during rainy season, the best part of the day is the […]
